Philadelphia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preview & Picks

Tampa Bay are tipped to cover as a home betting underdog.

The Buccaneers have a quality run defense that can slow down the Eagles’ favourite form of attack, and an offense that can put up enough points to at least keep this close.

  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 4-0-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a betting underdog
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 6-1 in their previous 7 games against Philadelphia
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 5-2-0 ATS in their previous 7 meetings with Philadelphia
  • The Under has cashed in 3 of the previous 5 meetings

Head To Head

  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers lead the all-time series 13-11
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers won 33-16 when the two teams last met in September 2024

Philadelphia Eagles Form

Philadelphia head to Tampa Bay having begun their defence of the Vince Lombardi Trophy with three consecutive wins.

The Eagles ended Kansas City’s quest for an historic three-peat by blowing out the Chiefs in last season’s Super Bowl, and now they are going in search of back-to-back titles themselves.

They have made a strong start to that quest, having kicked off the campaign with a 24-20 win over division rivals Dallas.

Philadelphia backed that up a week later as they went out on the road for a rematch of the Super Bowl, beating Kansas City 20-17.

The Eagles then made it to 3-0 last weekend as they returned home to fend off the Los Angeles Rams in a 33-26 victory.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Form

Tampa Bay also enter Sunday’s matchup boasting a perfect record, thanks to three straight victories.

The Buccaneers made the postseason once again in 2024, only to fall at the first hurdle as they were beaten at home by Washington in the Wildcard round.

They have their sights set on a much deeper playoff run this time around, and they have opened their campaign in solid fashion.

Tampa Bay kicked things off with back-to-back road games, but that did not stop them from making a 2-0 start thanks to a 23-20 win over Atlanta and a 20-19 success in Houston.

The Buccaneers then made it three wins in a row in their home opener, as they downed the New York Jets, 29-27.

Verdict

Philadelphia’s offense continues to lean on the run game, but this Tampa Bay defense is not easy to run the football on.

The Buccaneers are strong on defense and explosive on offense, so give us the hosts and the free posts.
